Balsamic Glazed Fruit (Michael Chiarello)
"Saw this on FoodTV's Easy Entertaining with Michael Chiarello. Holy cow is this stuff good. I didn't see it posted here yet - hope I didn't overlook it. I tweaked this very slightly (adjusted amounts of fruit) to my own taste."

VERY INTENSE FLAVORS ~ I don't think everyone would like it, but I do! I added salt and freshly ground pepper, per the original Food Network recipe. I roasted my fruit just shy of 5 hours, but feel that if I had used a larger pan so the fruit was not touching, it may have required less cooking time. Although some of the fruit looks burned, it was not! Made for Fall PAC 2011.
